Quitting all supplements except whey (srs)

[alaska21]

Don't see any point anymore...Also I just watched Bigger Stronger Faster and it only strengthened my opinion that supps are a joke.

Whey protein is fine sure....but all these nonsense supps like test boosters, pre workout drinks (overpriced caffeine), over priced creatine, and even BCAAs might help like 1% max if anything imo. the WORST is all of these idiotic herbs.....

Anyone else just use whey?

EDIT: Also take a multi and fish oil

[VictoryX]

Creatine? It is cheap, monohydrate creapure is all you need

BCAA are in your whey shakes, People who buy that.........HAHA

But yes, I do agree its a lot of crap.

[SkinnyBeast24]

Pre-workouts do work

Multi and fish oil definitely help edit: nvmd lolz

Whey is a given

[hardgainer91]

get creatine monohydrate you cheeky kunt

[TheBateman]

i think if you eat a balanced and varied diet a multi is unnecessary
even whey is unnecessary if you're getting adequate protein intake
all i take supp wise is some bcaa (will probably stop that, just wanted to experiment) and a caffeine pill to get me going
caffeine pills are definitely the way to go if you want a kick before a workout
~$5 for a bottle as opposed to ~$50 worth of a tub of that jack3d or whateverbull****

bottom line yea all that **** is bs

just curious when you were doing your contest prep- what supps did you take?
multi, whey, creatine?

[kbeezy]

agree, i just use whey and caffeine pills

way cheaper

[jovotovo]

the problem IMO is is when their over priced, i bought some stuff off bb.com for like 6 - 7 buks which would cost 30 in the shops, and it helps , especially this 'fat burner' stops my craving for hunger and olny costs like 8 $

[alaska21]

Creatine? It is cheap

Not the same as ingesting free form during workout...but this is so minimal and esp when you aren't cutting. Agree w/ u tho..makes 1% diff to natty

get creatine monohydrate you cheeky kunt

Creatine doesn't do **** because I actually eat meat...

For contest prep I did BCAAs during workout to keep mass during the low carb phase. Other than that nothing except whey, multi, fish oil (which I didn't need cause I ate fishy)

[Barbell Hermit]

Real talk OP, sups are a joke and honestly you probably dont neeeed the protein unless you work out in the morning or you cant afford not to eat (time constrictions)


Read some Lyle McDonald/Alan Aragon while your at it

Fish oil + clean diet all ya need brah. Don't even need the whey.

[alaska21]

I also used to take weird nootropic (brain supps) like vinpocetine, piracetam, etc. Had to take focus xt 2 scoops a day just to study...I thought I needed it.

Quit all that...just use good ole fashion coffee...EXACTLY THE SAME LOL.

Placebo effect is huge

[DonEstevan]

My only shake comes in the AM because I don't have time to cook eggwhites.

[alaska21]

No its used for memory and concentration VIA increasing cerebral bloodflow

I use Muscle Pharm assault (feels good man srs) but its not worth it over coffee lol. Only reason i bought it was because a bb.com glitch let me get it for 6 dollars.

After this I'm gonna switch to accelerade or gatorade. Not even a supp just a sports drink

[Ballr4Life]

Add vitamin D to that OP and you're set.

Surprised that people actually take stuff apart from listed.

[Alternative]

No you dumbass its used for memory and concentration VIA increasing cerebral bloodflow

Exactly what I said *******. It increases blood circulation in your brain cheeky kunt

I wasn't having problems. I'm in med school and need any edge I can get thats all.

Then I realized its all a joke imo. Either take ******** or be natty (I'm a natty med student, a lot of ******** un natural MDs...not worth it)

[redheadlaw7]

I'm a big fan of ZMA. That's something I won't give up.

[ramonbastos]

Agreed.Whey+fish oil+multi is what matters. maybe some pre workout if u have the money

[LinebackerGod]

I was just on the supp section and apparently the Fda is going to be cutting out a lot of them so you got nothing to worry about

[ScottGomez]

it's too easy to try a new supp every now and then, which is my case...

after this crazy period of tryouts, I think I'll go with :

creatine (~30$ for 1000grams, good for ~9months)
xtend (it really helps with my workouts that can be pretty long at times)
whey

and maybe a multi if there's a special on it

[BackOnMyGrizzy]

Never took anything besides whey and fish oil. Thinking of getting some jack3d tho.

Oh OK. You were using it to increase cognitive function. I don't think it works well unless you actually have reduced blood flow.

Dat der forskolin or tyrosine work almost as good and sometimes better than adderal if you take enough.

The thing with Xtend is that its pretty much the same price as drinking crystal light. So why not drink it lol....but I drink water u mad?

[Delgadido]

rofl?
my lifts increase by about 10% cause of creatine

[mkpat]

Do it, I've been on a multivitamin and milk as my post workout drink for over a year now and have had the exact same results. Diet is key, supps are a total waste.
